The valves in the foreground are part of Thames Water's operational site. The buildings are all museum. The building on the right is a 1908 extension that housed a Worthington non-rotative engine that was replaced by electric motors. The middle building is 1837/8 and houses the Boulton & Watt, Maudslay and Bull engines. The far building is called The Great Engine house and was built in two phases - 1845-6 and 1869-70. It houses the 90" and 100" Cornish engines.
